Movie rentals from the iTunes store

Hi everyone,
I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes after hearing about movie rentals from the iTunes store. After the install (which installed cleanly), I went to the movie section and do not see an option to rent any movies.
Am I missing something? Is there a different place or section that I need to be in to rent movies?
Has anyone else noticed this?
Please let me know.
Thanks!
Don

I don't think that movie rentals are available yet on iTunes or Apple TV. Note the "Movie Rentals, Coming Soon" on the blue circle next to the tv at http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm=br owse&mco=7B723644&node=home/shopipod/family/appletv
and rentals will be available on iTunes, it says it on the new features list

  • What are the perks to pre-ordering movie rentals in the itunes store?

    What are the perks to pre-ordering movie rentals in the itunes store?

    You can purchase music using multiple accounts within the same Windows profile & using the same iTunes library. I think when you log into the store it remembers the last account name used, but provided you don't let it remember your password then you have the opportunity to enter the correct details for each purchase.
    If you're going to place these purchases on your respective iPod's the following may help.
    *How to use multiple iPods with one computer*
    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

  • When I purchase a movie rental on the iTunes store the download takes forever before it starts to download

    When I  rent a movie in SD from the iTunes store it tells me in the downloads section "preparing to download" and that msg stays there for hours before it downloads the movie, Why?

    Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • My laptop is having trouble downloading and playing rentals from the iTunes store, I get a little way into the film and it stops playing and will not download any further. This has happened on two separate occasions, my laptop is under a year old?

    I get a little way into the film (just 4 minutes this time!) and it stops playing or downloading. The remaining download time changes continually and will say anything from 6 minutes to 11 hours! My laptop shouldn't be the problem as it is under a year old and I haven't experierienced any other running problems with it... I hope I will not be charged for the film !!

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Where have all the HD movies gone from the iTunes store?

    Not been in for a while and decided to purchase a film but there doesn't seem to be an option to download in HD anymore. Have apple stopped doing this or am I being thick?

    In the US iTS you can get HD content. It might not be available to other countries iTS.
    From the iTS main window select 'Movies' - in the US iTS there is a drop down menu.

  • HT201272 Re-Downloading Unwatched Rentals from the Itunes Store

    I cant find my rentals for movies anywhere rather than purchased movies. How do I  re-download a rental that I have already paid for but haven't watched yet?

    Never mind again!  It seems user patience was needed.  The 2 items eventually displayed & downloaded successfully.

    There is a few events where I could see this happening...
    It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

    However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

  • HT1657 i recently rented a movie from the itunes store in hd and closed itunes on accident and after reopening itunes i cannot find my movie rental. ive searched in my  library, movies, etc. and i cannot find it anywhere

    i rented a movie from the itunes store in hd and closed itunes on accident after letting it download and after reopening itunes i am un able find my movie rental. ive searched in my  library, movies, etc. and i cannot find it anywhere. i did start it... but i have atleast another 20 hours to watch it before the rental expires.

    Doublechecking. Did you download the rental in iTunes for Mac, iTunes for Windows, or an iOS device?

  • I just downloaded two rental movies from the iTunes store, proceeded to sync them to my iPad, and now I can't find where they landed. Anybody know where to access rental movies on the iPad? thanks

    And just in case .... You don't actually sync rental movies to the iPad....
    To transfer a rented movie from iTunes, use the movies pane in iTunes. Rented movies transfer is at the top. You must have an Internet connection to transfer a rented movie. Select the "move" arrow in the direction you wish to transfer, and click the apply button at the bottom right. Rented movies can only exist on one device at a time, they do not sync like other video, but move from iTunes to the iPad.

    Hi brett242424,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The movie would be in your iTunes library, in the Movies application.  However, if the rental period has expired, you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support about your situation:

  • Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?

    Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?

    Thank you alleycat. I have two rental movies in my iTunes library in the rentals section top left of the window that have not been played. I have home sharing turned on on both my apple TV and my Mac. Both machines are completely software updated. I can see all of my owned movies in the Computer>Library>Movies section of the menus, but neither the rentals themselves nor a rental fouler are anywhere to be found on the apple TV. I dropped by the apple store on the way home from work and they suggested that it should be working just as you described, and suggested a restore, which I've performed. Still no rentals from the Mac library are visible on the apple TV. Any ideas?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Downloading a movie from the iTunes Store after it has been deleted

    I accidentally deleted a purchased movie I was downloading from the iTunes Store. Now when I click on the movie by going to Purchased and clicking on the movie I don't get a button that lets me download the movie from iCloud; instead, there is a button that says "Watch." How can I start downloading the movie again?

    Does anyone know how to do this?
